KiberaOnline Computer Training Workshop for Teachers

In our quest to introduce technology –based education in local schools, Children of Kibera Foundation organized a free Level One Basic Computer Applications course for 34 primary school teachers from various institutions across Kibera slum from April 11^Th -29^Th . This was aimed at building the capacity of these various schools to be able to incorporate computer training into their curriculum.

From the onset of the project, it was clear that the thirst for computer literacy was very high among these custodians of knowledge. Within two days of call for participants. The office received 50 training request and the number kept on swelling with each passing day. At the end we had 83 applicants.

Due to limited resources in terms of training facilities, we took the first 34 for our first ever teacher training, we had two sessions: morning and evening, each having 17 learners with a computer- learner ratio of 1:1 for that quality Trainer-Learner attention.

We hope to hold another training session come August holidays for the second intake.
